This video details a ballistic gel test of Federal Hydra-Shok 110 grain .38 Special ammunition. The test utilizes a heavy clothing barrier and multiple firearm barrel lengths (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch) to evaluate bullet expansion and penetration. The results indicate that the ammunition struggles to achieve consistent expansion through the barrier, particularly at lower velocities typical of shorter barrels.
This video introduces the 30 Epic cartridge, a new high-power round designed for the AR-15 platform. Developed by Olympus Arms, Inc., the cartridge aims to maximize power while fitting within standard AR-15 magwells in a double-stack configuration. The focus is on achieving potent performance without compromising compatibility.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the original Winchester .38 Special +P+ 110 Grain Treasury Load. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms testing, compares its performance from 2-inch and 4-inch revolvers against heavy clothing barriers. The test includes velocity measurements, penetration depth analysis, and projectile expansion, offering insights into the historical effectiveness of this specialized ammunition.
This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test comparing 110-grain and 125-grain Remington HTP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 2-inch barrel Taurus 605 revolver. The instructor analyzes velocity, penetration, and expansion, noting significant differences in recoil between the two loads. The 125-grain load demonstrated superior penetration and expansion, making it the preferred choice despite higher recoil.
This review of OATH's Tango ammunition showcases its performance in ballistic gel tests. The 110-grain projectile, traveling at 1200 feet per second, demonstrated significant expansion and wound cavity creation, particularly in a Glock 19. However, concerns were raised about its accuracy beyond defensive ranges.
